I'm not posting a complete recipe - mine is rather heavily customised to extract only new articles, but extract all on one chosen day each week.

It looks as if there may be some further changes needed related to the chosen feeds, and I'll add another post here if I find further changes needed, but the changes above should get things going again for now.

It looks as if there may be some further changes needed related to the chosen feeds.

The old RSS feeds in some cases now are redirected to new feeds, and in other cases simply fail. "frontpage", "ireland" and "world" are all redirected to a "news" feed, which for me only extracts when redirected from "frontpage". "finance", "features", "sport" and "opinion" seem to extract still. "letters" redirects to a new "Debate" feed, which no longer contains the letters, and the redirection does not seem to extract (I viewed the feed in browser).

I no longer see a set of RSS feeds listed as before. These may now be in the process of being phased out in favour of RSS feeds tied to the subscription ePaper - the "Quick User Guide" for the "Newspaper replica view" on the Subscription/Epaper page has an item "Click on [icon] to create an RSS feed to the front page or entire newspaper".

With home delivery of the printed paper already I'm not going to subscribe to the ePaper as well. If I find a stable set of feeds which continue to work in Calibre, I'll post again on this thread. Otherwise it will be a case of availing of the offer of temporary ePaper subscription in place of home delivery when on holiday, which I hope well continue.

Yes, indeed I've tried your suggested fix (full recipe below) but unfortunately it's still unusable. I see from an article on the Irish Times website they are still tweaking it.

However I wonder will a fix be possible?

It sounds as if we need to wait until it settles down. I went through the log file of an attempt just now, using the fixes oneillpt posted, and there are dozens of broken links (RSS feeds that no longer exist). It should, with some effort, be possible to identify them by inspection, and find the equivalent (or not) on the new web site.

However, given the Irish news industry's ignorance of the Internet, and linking in particular, I wouldn't hold out too much hope that they will actually expose feeds for much longer, as they don't seem to want people to link to them.

NOTE: you are strongly advised NOT to edit the built-in recipes directly from the recipes folder!

The second method is the recommended one and here is how you go about it.

In the main window of calibre click the little arrow next to the "Fetch News" button and then click on "Add a custom news source".
A new window opens up and on the bottom left corner click on "Customize builtin recipe".
Now a little window opens up with a drop down box where you can pick the recipe of the news scource you wish to customize.
Once you have chosen a particular news source it should appear in the list on the left column of the window.
Select it in the left column and the recipe will appear on the right column of the window.

I had a look at some of the links & it's possible to get the recipe working, but it's not as extensive as the previous version, missing the magazine & lots of other sections. It's a shame but at least it's something. The only sections are now:

News

Business

Debate

Life Style

Culture

Sport

I notice the links contain numbers at the end which may be subject to change, will have to wait & see!
